The obelisk is pretty cool, except the quality is really bad. There is no way to straighten the thing after it's all put together... and it takes 2 people to put it together! This one is kinda wonky/tipped.

The box came totally trashed, but the product seemed OK. Couple of chips in the paint on one of the rings, but not too noticeable. You will have stryofoam EVERYWHERE!!!! when you open the box.

So, I will be using it in my garden, but come on, with all the computer driven design, and construction, there is just no excuse for poor quality these days!
